The next day, when Shen Changting returned home from work, Zhao Qingzao greeted him: "Are you back? Hurry back to the house! The rice is in the pot, and it will be fine in a while." ”

Shen Changting didn't listen to Zhao Qingzao's words, but followed her into the kitchen: "What did you do today?"

Zhao Qingzao heard his voice, turned his head and said to him with a smile: "Because it's nothing, I simply fried a green vegetable and boiled a pot of chicken soup, how about it? If it's not enough, I'll fry a few more dishes." ”

Shen Changting sat in front of the stove and shook his head gently: "That's enough, you look at the pot! I'll help you light the fire." ”

Zhao Qingzao didn't shirk either, because she was not a person of this era, so she didn't listen to what a gentleman said about cooking, and she was very happy to see her man cooking to help her.

Shen Changting looked at her snickering, and felt inexplicably happy in his heart.

The rice was ready soon, Zhao Qingzao hurriedly came back to his senses, put the vegetables and soup in a bowl, and handed them to Shen Changting: "You be careful, bring it to the table, and I'll go and put the rice up." ”

Shen Changting hurriedly took it and brought it to the table in the hall, and Zhao Qingzao quickly put the rice ready, took two pairs of chopsticks, and walked to the hall.

Just after the two of them finished eating, Shen Changting pulled Zhao Qingzao, who was busy cleaning up the table: "Don't clean up first, I'll talk to you about something, and then I'll come in a while." ”

Zhao Qingzao glanced at him suspiciously, but obediently put down the work in his hand, sat down opposite him and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Shen Changting looked at her with both eyes: "Today, your grandmother and ......"

As soon as Zhao Qingzao heard that it was Mrs. Zhao's business, her face became bad: "Changting, she is not my grandmother." ”

Shen Changting smiled helplessly at her: "Today you ...... Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Xiaohei came to the yamen to look for me. ”

Zhao Qingzao exploded when he heard this: "What? The two of them went to look for you? Is it to let you get an errand for Zhao Xiaohei?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Shen Changting's eyes: "Green jujube...... How do you know?"

Zhao Qingzao crossed her waist with one hand and said very angrily: "Mrs. Zhao, she came to the house today to make trouble, and scolded me for a long time, I ignored her, but I didn't expect that her face was so thick, she dared to run over to find you, by the way, what did she say?"

Shen Changting got up and helped her to the stool: "Okay, don't be angry first, you listen to me." ”

Zhao Qingzao calmed down the anger in his heart slightly: "Okay, I'm not angry, you say." ”

Shen Changting also lifted the hem of his clothes and sat on the stool next to her: "She brought Zhao Xiaohei to the yamen today, claiming that she had something important to come to me, at that time, the official in front of the yamen stopped them from coming in, and then Mrs. Zhao began to sprinkle, saying that she came to see her grandson's son-in-law......"

When Zhao Qingzao heard this, he began to hate itchy, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists: "This old pious woman ......"

Shen Changting saw that the little woman in front of him began to blow up again, and then he took her hand comfortingly: "Later, the official informed me, I went out to see them, and then Mrs. Zhao opened her mouth and asked me to find something for Zhao Xiaohei to do in the yamen, I told them that I was just a small master bookkeeper, and I couldn't manage such a big thing, let them leave." ”

Zhao Qingzao held his hand tightly: "Then what? Did they leave without listening to you?"

Shen Changting had a smile in his eyes: "Why are you so clear about them?"

Zhao Qingzao snorted coldly: "I have already seen through the thoughts of their sons, that is, they are greedy, they will never be satisfied, and they will not stop if they don't pick up a piece of skin on you." ”

Shen Changting looked at the angry Zhao Qingzao, and there was a little more distress on his face, he didn't know what kind of life she was living at home before she married her.

Zhao Qingzao saw that he no longer spoke, just stared at herself, she stretched out her hand and shook it in front of his eyes in confusion: "What are you looking at?"

Shen Changting lowered his head and coughed lightly to cover up the embarrassment on his face, and then returned to that cold expression: "They are indeed like you said, they did not leave, but played tricks in the yamen, saying that I am their grandson-in-law and niece-in-law, but I am not filial to them, and I do not listen to their elders, this is unfilial piety, I can't take office in the yamen anymore, and I have to go to the county magistrate to sue me." ”

Zhao Qingzao couldn't suppress the anger in her heart, and she slapped the table in front of her: "They are too much." ”

Shen Changting took her hand in front of him distressedly, looked at it carefully, and found that she was not injured, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that she would get angry again and slap the table and hurt herself, so then he held Zhao Qingzao's hands tightly: "Don't do this again, if you hurt yourself, what should I do?"

Zhao Qingzao didn't care about this, she turned her head to look at Shen Changting: "Then did they go to sue you? This has no effect on you, right?"

Seeing her looking at herself with concern, a trace of warmth crossed Shen Changting's heart, and the expression on his face softened a little, and he shook his head gently: "They are indeed going to see the county magistrate." ”

After Zhao Qingzao heard this, his whole body tensed, and his eyes also looked at Shen Changting worriedly.

Shen Changting patted her shoulder with a calm face: "But it wasn't their willingness, but I sent someone to tie them in, I told them that I didn't have the final say on the errand, if they really wanted to see the county commander, I would bring them in, as soon as they heard that they were really going to see the county commander, they began to be scared, and they didn't dare to go, I felt that this time I was going to give them a dose of fierce medicine to prevent future troubles, so I asked people to tie them in and send them to meet the county commander." ”

Zhao Qingzao's expression was still nervous: "What about later?

Shen Changting chuckled: " After they met the county magistrate, they said that it was your grandmother and uncle who came to the yamen to find me, and asked me to help Zhao Xiaohei on an errand in the yamen, the county magistrate looked at me, I shook my head lightly, and denied the relationship with them, and then the county magistrate knew what to do, but that Zhao Xiaohei really couldn't make a big deal, seeing the county magistrate, his face was pale with fright, his legs trembled, and he couldn't kneel well, how could such a person become a big thing, and the county magistrate would naturally not agree to let such a person come to the yamen on an errand. ”

Zhao Qingzao nodded with satisfaction: "The county magistrate is really discerning, and a small person like Zhao Xiaohei can't get on the stage." ”

Shen Changting looked at her smiling like a flower, and unconsciously had a smile on his face: "So, later, the county magistrate ordered someone to drive them out, and in front of the county magistrate, they didn't dare to make a mistake, so they had to leave obediently." ”

Zhao Qingzao laughed even more happily when she heard this, but remembered that in ancient times, women were toothless when they smiled, so she hurriedly closed her grinning mouth again, stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and smiled: "It's so good, the county magistrate did so well, it really made me breathe a bad breath." ”

Shen Changting watched her movements, and his eyes were full of smiles: "Lady doesn't have to be like this, in my eyes, your most natural appearance is the most real, so you don't have to restrain yourself so much." ”

When Zhao Qingzao heard this, his eyes bent into a crescent moon happily: "Thank you, Xianggong." Then, with a smile on his face, he looked at Shen Changting in embarrassment: "I...... I also have one more thing I want to ask of you. ”

Shen Changting shook his head: "What you say is too outward, you and I are husband and wife, how can we use the word begging for each other? ”

Zhao Qingzao laughed again, got up and saluted him: "What Xianggong said is that I keep it in mind. ”

Shen Changting looked at her naughty appearance and shook his head helplessly: "Okay, tell me, what's the matter?"

Zhao Qingzao sat down beside him again and looked at him with a smile: "Didn't Grandma Niu look for me at noon yesterday!"

Shen Changting nodded: "I know this." ”

Zhao Qingzao saw him nodding, and then said, "Actually, her old man came over yesterday to find you." ”

"Looking for me?" Shen Changting was puzzled.

Zhao Qingzao nodded: "Yes, she just wants you to find an errand for hiking in the Yamen, but it's not good to tell you, so please ask me to talk to you." ”

Shen Changting groaned: "It turned out to be for this matter." ”

Zhao Qingzao hurriedly persuaded: "Xianggong, before I married you, Grandma Niu has been helping me again, she is kind to me, so I can't shirk it when I ask for it, so I can't shirk it, so ...... So I'm asking you to help. ”

Shen Changting glanced at her: "I know, I know that Grandma Niu is a good person." ”

"Hiking is also good, people are honest and honest, and they are very able to endure hardships, the key is that he is very kind, and he is fair, can you help him. Zhao Qingzao looked at Shen Changting eagerly.

Shen Changting heard his woman praise a man so much in front of him, and this man was still her childhood sweetheart, there would always be a trace of entanglement and dissatisfaction in his heart, but when he saw Zhao Qingzao's round eyes staring at him like that, he didn't know how to land on the ground, and there was no fire to save.

Seeing him in a daze, Zhao Qingzao thought that he would refuse, so he was even more anxious, and reached out to grab his arm: "Xianggong, if you speak, you can help him hike the mountain! He and Grandma Niu are my relatives, and I can't watch them ignore it." ”

When Shen Changting heard her say that Chu Xingshan was his relative, a smile appeared on his face: "Don't worry, it's not that I won't agree, I'm just thinking about what is suitable for him to do." ”

Only then did Zhao Qingzao put his mind at ease: "I knew you wouldn't look at it." ”

Shen Changting glanced at her helplessly: "What kind of person is hiking, I don't know it, his character, his kindness, and his conduct are all very suitable for survival in the yamen, so I won't help him." ”

Zhao Qingzao was happy now: "Really?"

Shen Changting nodded affirmatively: "Really." ”

Zhao Qingzao stood up happily: "It's okay now, if I tell Grandma Niu the news, she will definitely be very happy." ”

But then he looked at Shen Changting in embarrassment.

Shen Changting opened his mouth puzzled: "Wasn't it okay just now?

Zhao Qingzao sat down beside him again in frustration: "However, even if you agree, there is no way if the county commander does not agree! ”

Shen Changting couldn't help it, and reached out to pinch her round face: "You, you really shouldn't worry about it, isn't there still me here! I said that if I want to come in alone, the county magistrate will not agree, and Chu Xingshan himself is also very good! The county magistrate will also be very satisfied with him after seeing it, you can rest assured." ”

Zhao Qingzao became happy again: "That's really good, I'll go and tell Grandma Niu the good news in a while." ”

Shen Changting hurriedly grabbed her: "Don't be busy yet, when I came back, the county magistrate said that he wanted to eat the dishes you cooked, so ......"

Zhao Qingzao nodded hurriedly when he heard this: "It's okay, I'll do it right away, you wait here for a while." After saying that, he didn't even bother to clean up the table, and ran into the kitchen to cook.

Shen Changting looked at her back helplessly, chuckled, and also raised his heels behind her and walked into the kitchen.

After some busyness, Zhao Qingzao made stir-fried small river shrimp, leek cakes, and egg mochi, and put these dishes into the prepared lunch box before she handed them to Shen Changting, who had been helping her in the kitchen.
